Drainage Rubery is a pitch-fibre story. The 1960s and 1970s estates that form the bulk of the Rubery housing stock were built using pitch-fibre pipe as a cheaper alternative to clay. Pitch-fibre has a design life of around 50 years. These pipes are now between 55 and 65 years old, and the majority are deforming. The internal bore narrows, solids accumulate faster, and blockages become more frequent. Drain unblocking Rubery on pitch-fibre pipes provides short-term relief, but relining or replacement is usually the correct long-term approach.
A selection of drainage jobs from across our service area.
Rubery sits on the south-west edge of Birmingham, where the city boundary meets Bromsgrove district. It is a largely 1960s and 1970s development, with some later infill near Rubery Retail Park and a small older core around the original village. Drainage Rubery is dominated by pitch-fibre pipe that is now reaching, or has already passed, the end of its working life. Our engineers arrive from Birmingham in 35 to 45 minutes.
Rubery sits on Mercia Mudstone clay with sandstone outcrops at Birmingham/Bromsgrove boundary geology, managed by Severn Trent Water. The area's dominant property types, 1960s and 1970s estates, 1980s detached and semi-detached, Modern infill, each present different drainage challenges.

No. There is no call-out fee in Rubery. We provide a fixed price before any work starts.
Very likely. Pitch-fibre drainage in 1960s properties has typically deformed over the past 60 years, narrowing the bore and causing frequent blockages. Drain unblocking Rubery on these pipes provides short-term relief but will not solve the underlying problem. A CCTV drain survey shows the exact condition so you can decide whether relining or replacement is the right investment.
Severn Trent Water covers all B45 properties regardless of whether the postal address says Birmingham or Worcestershire. We cover the full Rubery and B45 area from our Birmingham base.
Drain unblocking Rubery starts from £100. Pitch-fibre relining and CCTV surveys are quoted separately after inspection. All prices are agreed before work starts.
Yes. Where pitch-fibre has deformed, we use no-dig WRc-approved patch or full-bore relining to restore the bore without excavation. For collapsed sections, we excavate and install PVC. A CCTV survey confirms which approach is required.
Yes. CCTV drain surveys in Rubery start from £250 and produce a full HD report with a written condition assessment. For pitch-fibre properties, this is the most reliable way to establish how much of the system needs attention.
